Personality portraits are giving "fine art portraits" 🤌🏻 with my new black drop! Also, my client sent me a text thread from her sister and this might be the nicest compliment I've ever received. Scroll to the end to see what she had to say about her nephew's photos! 🥹

01/25/2025

I'm honestly embarrassed to admit this but... I've spent a majority of my photography career with blinders on, staying in my own lane.

After the realization last year set in that, "there's gotta be more to this...?" I decided to enroll in a mastermind community with a super successful family photographer that I had admired from afar for years. She and I had so much in common - a former nurse, who followed her passion for photography in pursuit of creating a life she loved, that also served her family. My spirit animal. 🦄

After 5 months of weekly zoom calls with insanely talented women photographers all over the world, I signed up for an in-person retreat with the entire mastermind community. The perfect blend of relaxation, personal growth and reflection, friendship, and the motivation that I've been craving.

I can now tell you what was missing for me these last few years. It was a supportive community. Making friends with fellow photographers all going through the same things as me - but without the loneliness, and weird competition or secrecy that I had just assumed and falsely believed was part of this gig.

I'm totally honored to have been welcomed into this amazing little community that Elena has cultivated over the years! I can't wait to head back home with a new sense of purpose and vision on where I'm taking my little photo biz next! ✨

✨Can you believe this adorable gallery wall started with just 20 minutes of pure kiddo magic? (Swipe to see the final result that's making my heart melt! 👉🏼)

Each of these sweethearts showed up with their unique spark, and we captured it ALL - from their belly laughs to their thoughtful little looks. The best part? Mom got to pick the shots that screamed "That's so them!" for each child. I then worked my editing magic to create their dream gallery wall layout.

Want to capture your little ones' personalities in a way that'll make you smile every time you walk down your hallway? That's exactly what these Personality Portrait sessions are all about! We'll customize every detail to create the perfect gallery wall you've been dreaming of.

💫 February is filling up fast but I've saved a few spots just for you! Tap the link in my stories to grab yours before they're gone! 🩷

Today's the day! 🎉✨

Personality Portrait sessions launch tonight at 8pm, exclusively for my waitlisters! 🚀

What better way to kick off the new year than with fresh, updated portraits of your favorite people?

A new gallery wall can truly transform a space and make your house feel more like home. 💫

01/07/2025

These sweet little cuties came in for their personality portraits last year! Mama wanted individual photos of each, and then a couple sibling photos to hang on the wall together.

When you schedule a personality portrait session - we can photograph one child or multiple siblings, edit in color or black and white, and use either a white or black backdrop!

You will get to pick your favorite photos from a proofing gallery (I'll show you all the options available), and after you choose your favs I will then edit / scale them to fit your vision and space!

Booking for the 2025 event goes live tomorrow to my 100+ waitlisters! Let me know who's planning on coming by dropping a comment below!

⭐️ Personality Portraits Are Back⭐️

Last year, I introduced a brand new offer for my clients. I called these sessions, "Personality Portraits".

These limited edition sessions lasted just around 20 minutes or less, and the intention was to snap a bunch of beautiful images of each kiddo, with their natural expressions and personalities shining through. ✨

Clients would then pick their favorites of the captured photos, and I would customize the crops and the layout options to bring their gallery wall visions to life. 🖼️

After selling out this event twice last year, I created a waitlist that has been growing in numbers since last summer.

I am now going to open up new available dates for these sessions for 2025! Be sure to join the waitlist, linked in my stories, if you would like to grab a spot for one of these limited edition sessions this winter. Sessions will be releasing next week and details will be emailed to my waitlist first.

As you can see from scrolling, my clients are so happy with their new gallery walls. 🩷

If you are a client from last year, please send me photos of your completed galleries so I can share!

Backstory of Personality Portraits-
After moving into our new home in the summer of 2023, I realized how many empty walls I had to fill in each room. Instead of running to the nearest Hobby Lobby or Target to buy generic and meaningless artwork, I decided to take intentionally scaled, artistic and timeless photos of my own kids to create treasured walls throughout my home.
